Tomorrow Never Comes
A heart once at the center, now silent.
Five friends, once whole, now scattered in grief.
Through echoes of the past and words left unspoken,
they search for meaning, for each other,
for the light in the dark.
Loss changes everything—but love, memory, and friendship remain.
This is a story of holding on, letting go, and finding your way home.
